Generate a Session Key to Start a Support Session

Dependent upon your account permissions, one method of starting a support session is through the use of one-time, randomly generated session keys. Session keys are not used for authentication. They simply route the customer to the appropriate team or rep and are valid for a limited time (see "Maximum Session Key Timeout" in the Admin Interface). The methods by which the Bomgar Appliance generates session keys are proprietary information. When your customer calls with a support request, generate a new session key from:

the Support menu of the representative console

the Start button at the top of the representative console

the Session Key button at the top of the representative console

pressing Ctrl + F4 or Command + F4

Set how long you want this session key to remain valid. The expiration time applies only to the length of time the key can be used to start a session and does not affect the length of the session itself.

You also can select the public portal through which you want your customer to enter the session.

Depending on the options selected by your administrator, you may be able to send the invitation from your local email, from a server side email, or by SMS.

Direct your customer either to go to the unique URL or to enter the session key on your public site. After running the customer client, your customer will appear in your personal queue.
